Default (noindex)
-
Hi,
I’m noticing that when I create a new post or page, it always says Default (noindex) in the SEO setting in the post or page. This is the case even if I didn’t set noindex to pages and post in my SEO settings.
See: https://imgur.com/a/YIQDO1n
When I look at the source code of the posts and pages, it doesn’t say noindex (unless I select the “noindex” option instead of “Default (noindex)”, so the posts and pages are being indexed.
But this is a bit confusing. Shouldn’t instead say Default (index)? Is there a way to fix this so that it reflects the fact that the page is being indexed?
Thanks!

Hello!
When those options are unchecked, it should say “Default (index)” for new, unedited posts.
There may still be other parameters influencing this.
Before the page is loaded, this is assessed for a new post for the default indexing state:
- TSF’s robots meta is filtered via
the_seo_framework_robots_meta_array. Since this requires a developer’s intent, I assume this is unlikely.
While a page is edited, this may influence the default indexing state:
- When the post has a password, it’ll be set to “noindex.”
- When the post is marked private, it’ll be set to “noindex.”
If you’re using TSF v5.0.2 or earlier (we’re now at v5.0.6), it had an odd bug with WordPress v6.2 and later where a non-existing page could be interpreted as the homepage when the homepage is not assigned correctly via WordPress’s Reading Settings. If the homepage has set “noindex” via TSF’s settings, then I suspect that would reflect in a new post’s SEO settings.
